| X.3908 Extract from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/LG6.7.21. RE CARS FOR AMERICA. X.3719. X.3908 Item 11 Fumes in Body. We are making a similar breather to the sketches received from Springfield. We think that the scheme is quite good and we believe that we shall gave no difficulty in getting Mr. Royce to standardise it. As regards Springfield not fitting a cut-out unless desirable to customers, we see no objection to this. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} (upside down text at bottom) R.R. 225b.
